Diamond Blades Losing Their Edge? Here's How to Revive Them!

After heavy use, diamond blades can start to underperform. But before you consider replacing them, there’s a simple trick to bring them back to life! Dressing the blade removes debris buildup and heat-induced glazing, revealing fresh diamond segments for smoother, faster cuts.

What Does It Mean to Dress a Diamond Blade?

Diamond blades don’t just wear out—they get clogged with materials that cause overheating and glazing. By dressing, you clear away these obstructions, allowing new diamond edges to emerge and revitalize the blade’s cutting power. Think of it like a refresh for your blade—it's not sharpening, but it's just as effective in restoring performance.

Dressing a diamond blade is a quick and easy process. You simply use specially designed dressing stones to wear down the glazed surface, exposing fresh diamonds ready to cut cleanly once again.
